Time for an update?

I was going to have a really sarcastic title with disgusting picture of my knee for you, but the picture didn’t come out… at least not the one I have. I dislocated my patella yesterday playing tackle football (after rolling my ankle – seems I should have stopped while I was ahead). I’m not exactly in excruciating pain anymore, but as today has dragged on it has been slowing getting worse. Everything below my stomach is stiff and hurts to move. I’m even starting to have ambient pain (which will hopefully go away since I just took my pain pill). I have to wear a knee brace and a leg immobilizer for a while and I’ll probably be someone dysfunctional for a few weeks. I’ve been trying to get up and walk around today with just the knee brace on… doesn’t seem like a good idea. I keep getting a pinching in the back of my knee… so I have to remind myself… “baby steps”.

I’ll try to get a picture of the knee, a few people took pictures with their phones… and I’ll try to get some details on the last month sometime soon.
